Hello again... I'm not dead yet.
I actually don't have an awful lot to talk about. I mean, stuff's happened, but it's not that noteworthy. Hm... best way to deal with this (and writers block -head desk-) is to make a list.
1. Made friends on the bus (Only took me 3 years.... -sigh-)
2. Role-played A LOT.
3. Played Resident Evil 4 (I'll tell you a story about that after my list.)
4. Wrote a 5 page essay in 2 days. (Ick)
5. Almost did a meme. (I still might do it, I just need to drag my art muse out of the attic.)
6. Watched White Collar (<3! I finally finished the first season.. :D)
7. Decided to go to Con. (There's going to be the voice actor of Ichigo there... -swoon-)
8. Tried to decide who to cosplay at Con. (I'm leaning towards Rukia at this point.)
9. Fangirled over varioius things. (White Collar, Inu-Yasha, D. Gray Man)
10. Cried while reading the newest chapter of Bleach. (Chapter 416... -sniff sniff-)
Ok, so Resident Evil 4. It's a game about a practically post apocalyptic world where there are mostly only Zombies with pitch forks, chain saws, scythes (etc.) trying to kill you. It's extraordinarily violent... but so much fun. My friend has it and we've been slowly working our way through it. Funny story about the chain saw, though. It's a one player game, by the way. One person plays (as Leon), and the rest of us stand around yelling at them.
The Infamous Chain Saw Incident:
-While Playing Resident Evil-
Josh: Why do I hear a chain saw?
Everybody else: BEHIND YOU!
-Poor Leon gets decapitated... That happens to him a lot-
It's kind of gone down in history. We like making fun of him for it. I beat one of those little buggers today too (the chain saw guys. They're a different breed of zombie and they're harder to kill.) Good times...
Yeah, so I'm going to Con. And I need a costume... And people to go with... It's a work in progress. If anyone has any tips on how to get a Rukia costume together in a month when you don't have very much free time, please tell me... :D
Finally, on Chapter 416. Skip this part if you haven't read the chapter, MAJOR spoilers.
Ok, I really was crying by the end of this chapter. Gin is (was) one of my favorite characters. Ah well, at least he died the good guy... -sniff sniff sob- And there was a major GinRan moment at the end. And then Ichigo showed up with something that looks suspiciously like a body over shoulder and no explanation... Next chapter's gonna be interesting...
I feel like this was a boring post... sorry.
Till next time, my fine compatriots.

I'm musing... I'm wet and I'm musing....
I'm fairly sure that this is a new record for number of posts in a week. Ah well, school is starting tomorrow and I wish to write.
Ok, so.... School. I'm not totally sure if I should be looking forward to it or not. I mean, I'll be glad to see my friends again, and new classes are fun, but I don't really wanna have homework again... Another point of interest tomorrow is going to be the new (and male, which is really new) addition to my lunch table. Now my lunch table is... special. And I love them that way and I never want them to change. Of course, we're short two members this year because Jen graduated and Regina is going to a different school *grumble grumble tear tear*. At any rate, my lunch table is presided over by otakus and artists and considering the fact that there were people singing in harmony last year at then end of our lunch period, I think you can see why I love them. I just hope the new boy's good with insanity.
On another note, I've been watching more White Collar. Have I mentioned that I love that show? Ok, so now I'm going to go on a mini rant-ish thing about everybody's favorite topic: CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT! (And fangirling... mostly fanigirling.)
So have you ever seen a scene in a movie or a show or read it in a book that either A) makes you fall in love with the character or B) immediately lets you understand the character? Under this topic, I can think of three scenes from White Collar. (Just let me fangirl in peace, please. This is the last thing I'm going to talk about, so you can just skip the rest of this.)
Scene 1: Neal Caffrey, sitting in a car, playing with an origami crane which he clearly folded himself.
Scene 2: Peter opens a crate with a dead body in it. Neal immediately looks away.
Scene 3: "I take my miracles where I can find them."
Ah well, I'm just rambling and nobody else but me cares, so I'll leave you with one parting quotes from Psych (another top notch show):
"How do you kill a nose?!"
Thanks for reading. I promise I'll post something worthwhile next time.
(There's a reference to The Producers, directed by Mel Gibson in the title of this post, by the way.)

L-squares and... death.
Oh, look... I'm not dead.
Ok, first off, a reference to Bleach-In-A-Box. Haven't the last few chapters of Bleach and Naruto been pretty much the best thing ever?! I mean, seriously. They've been freaking amazing! On another (related, for once) note, I figured out why there are parts of Naruto that suck so much. All of the amazing characters died before the manga even started. Minato? Kushina? They're all dead... and come to think of it, that's pretty depressing. So I think I'm gonna shut up now... Ok, moving on.
Ok, so here's what I've been doing since I last posted.
I have...
Gone to the mountains.
Played my violin until my fingers practically fell off.
Planned my death.
Gone on my first legit roller coaster.
Become obsessed with roller coasters.
Had a dance party in a moving car.
Written a book report and a half.
Gone to registration.
Contemplated Inu-yasha, Bleach, and Naruto.
Written very little.
So, the mountains and violin stuff. I went to a chamber music camp recently. Chamber music, in layman's terms, is small group music. For instance, I played in a quintet as a second violin with another violin, a viola, a cello, and a bass. We played Boccherini's Quintet in E major, Opus 13, No. 5. I love chamber music, so this was loads of fun. A little note on CMIM (Chamber Music in the Mountains. That's what the camp's called.): In all of your spare time, you play cards. I have never played so many card games in my entire life. I've also perfected the art of shuffling at this camp.
Next, the roller coasters. My church went on a trip to Six Flags the day after I got back from CMIM. That place is amazing and I love it so much. My first roller coaster ever: Terminator Salvation: The Ride. It's amazing. My favorite roller coaster ever: Colossus. The best ride at Six Flags to ride at night (with or without your eyes closed): Ninja. That place is so much fun.
Then there was the dance party incident. My Church was traveling to Six Flags in three 15 passenger vans, our normal mode of transportation. Our van literally started up a dance party in the line to get into the Six Flags parking lot. Our leader (who was driving) rolled down his window and told every car we passed to turn the radio. It was amazing, but then we tried it with an older man with two little kids in the car. That effectively killed it. But still. It was absolutely amazing.
There was also a guy doing wheelies on a motorcycle at 40 MPH on the freeway, but that's another story.
As for planning my own death, it has been decided (not by me) that I am going to be killed, put out for viewing in a golden violin case, then cremated and scatered out at sea with Regina and Elizabeth. I really do love them. <3 :D
I think I'll end this post here. Good night.
Wait, I lied. One last side note, in the form of a very true conversation between my mother, my father, and myself:
Dad: "Why is there an L-square in your bedroom?"

Wait, I lied. One last side note, in the form of a very true conversation between my mother, my father, and myself:
Dad: "Why is there an L-square in your bedroom?"
Later
Dad: "I've never had an L-square."
Mom: "Neither have I."
Me: "Don't look at me."
Dad: "Maybe one of your friends brought it too a sleepover."
Me: "If that's what you want to think, sir."
Dad: "Yeah. I'm going to bring an L-square to my friend Dora's house for a sleepover and hide it behind her chest of drawers. Won't she be surprised."
And another conversation later that day, between us.
Mom: "I have no memory of buying this!"
Me: "Maybe there's a fairy in our house that brings random things."
Dad: "Well then, it has very diverse tastes. Violin duets, L-square. Why can't we have a fairy who brings chocolate bars?"
